Figure 3c. A full-thickness macular hole is shown using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). The macula is pulled apart by traction on the surface of the retina. The dark areas represent swelling (retinal edema) from tissue damage. Vitrectomy surgery removes this traction and allows the retina to slide together, closing the gap and restoring the “hole” in the patient’s vision.
